How to Put Being First: Going From Chasing Outcomes to Choosing Who You Are
In this mindset shift from The Positive Mindset Podcast, Henry Lawrence explores what changes when being becomes more important than collecting outcomes. Through a free-will analogy and an honest look at a negotiable identity, he asks you to choose who you are rather than reshape yourself for every result. Doing still matters, but it does not have to lead your sense of self. The selection opens with a life-is-good centering breath and closes with a chosen I-am breath, the rising tide and a prayer. Henry names pursuing Jesus as his own practice while inviting you to choose your statement. In this episode: • "So how do I elevate me?" • "Because love without a choice isn't love, it's like robotic, right?" • "It's a choice." • "Being is everything." • "I can't hide from the thought. I have to be present." • "And so I didn't have a solid foundation." • "Who do you want to be?" • "But if your number one focus is on what to be, then you will expand that." • "It's a being. It's an alignment within here." • "Lord, thank you so much for today."
